Hi,
The best purified fragment I have beem obtained don't use any of
this kind of kit. I use the following procedure:
1) - Run an acrylamide gel. Concentration based on the size of
your fragment.
2) - Passive elution over nigth in 1x TE, with constant
agitation. Use 200 to 500 microliter.
3) - Dry out the TE in a speed vac.
4) - Resuspend the DNA fragment in 15 microliter of 1x TE.
5) - Use this DNA for sequence.
This procedure give me very clean DNA band.
Good luck.
